Calling with high pocket pairs

[B1GF1SHY]

Often I find myself at a crazy table where it is raised the pot preflop to around $15-$20 (1-2 blinds) and the majority of the table calls. Am I supposed to be calling this raise with high pocket pairs (JJ-KK) in hopes of hitting a set to take down the huge pot on the flop, or is it better to wait for stronger hand and re-raise all-in? I seem to call often to try and hit a set because I know I'll get paid off when I hit but is it worth it in the long run?
